Hello,
I am running some testing for VCS 5.0 with some EMC gear, namely the Symmetrix and SRDF. One feature that was interesting was the global cluster firedrill.
I created a silly test app that just writes a file every few seconds onto a Sym-device-mounted directory which is replicated using SRDF/S to the remote site. The application service group looks something like this:
testapp -> mount-point -> SRDF
Everything's set up fine in that failing over and whatnot works. I have synchronized BCV devices and is ready to set up a firedrill. When I try hawizard firedrill, The GUI pops up, but won't let me proceed when I try to select the application service group - "This wizard must be run at target site". But I am on the target site! In fact, I get this no matter which ever side I'm on.
Next, I try fdsetup-srdf. This gets far enough that it proceeds to start creating the firedrill group, but:

Please correct error and run wizard again
It looks like only the SRDFSnap-SRDF resource is created. It tries to modify mount-2site_fd before a corresponding hares -add command.
I am fairly unfamiliar with VCS, so I'm having a hard time troubleshooting this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!!
